Description

Request from a Geomorphologist: automatically evaluates the proportion of vegetation burn severity in all named catchments impacted by the fire, and summarizes the proportions of named watersheds affected, along with the proportion of moderate, high, and Moderate+high severity

Their process:
take the watershed area and then examine how much of the watershed burned for a proportion of watershed area affected (%) and # of hectares. Add up the moderate and high burn severity (ha) and divide by watershed are to get a proportion burned at elevated severity. They this number to inform their hazard likelihood rating.
